How to Keep Them IN Perfect Condition
until the Following Summer.
When the roots are fully grown. a
man, with a sharp, heavy hoe, goes
along one row and clips off at stroke
the leaves from the roots on his right
hand. 1t is easier to do this when the
man walks backwards. At the end of
the row he turns and retraces his steps
in the same row, thus gathering the
tops of two rows in one Another man
follows and with digging fork turns
the roots out into the empty space on
his left or right hand as the case may
be, gathering two rows of roots into
one space. There are thus alternate
rows of roots and tops. 1t is most con.
venicnt for the roots TO be thrown in
heaps between the rows, leaving spaces
wide enough for the passage of horse
and cart, in which they are lifted with
a broad, blunt fork, with the tines bent
somewhat, to hold the roots,
The tops are gathered and put in
heaps in convenient place, covered
with straw and then with a little earth,
in which manner they may be kept
fresh for several weeks, and will
afford excellent fodder The roots are
put up in conical heaps in trenches two
feet deep and four feet wide covered
with straw and then with earth; thus
keeping in perfect condition until
June of the next year. Care is to be
taken to avoid heating, by putting
ventilators in the top of the heaps to
afford al escape for the heated and
damp air, which gathers in the pits
from the sweating of the roots; use
round drain tiles or bundles OF straight
straw.
Carrots and parsnips are more difli-
rult to grow than beets and mangels;
but with care they will yield a heavy
crop of most valuable fodder for winter
feeding. OF mangels, the best kind
are the long red and the yellow globe;
sugar beets, Lanes improved; of car
rots, the large orangc-the Belgian
and Altringham are most suitable for
the field culture; of parsnips there is
but one kind. Parsnips may be left in
the ground all the winter with safety.
Turnips of all kinds can not be used in
the dairy, except for dry cows. young
cattle and bulls, and as they are in.
fcrior to the roots mentioned, no further
notice need be given them. american

The Young Napoleons of Finance"
the Ives and Wards of the period
have fallen, of late, into disreputA.
Though they manage their forces with
dash and maneuvre it is found they
march inevitably to Waterloo. They

Their balloon goes up grandly enough,
but bursts in midair.
Enormous fortunes have been made
since the war, but the element of luck
has not been such potent factor in
their requirement as is generally sup
posed. The greatest fortunes OF our
money kings have been acquired
through the development of new coun-
try through the agency of railroads
Fabulous profits have doubtless been
realized; but the law of compe-
tition has brought the freight and
passenger rates Of the railroads
down to figure that would not have
been considered self-supporting few
years ago, and the most observing
economists now believe that the era OF
great railroad fortunes is over OF

Into the virgin soil and ungathered re-
sources Of an El-Dorado, can put out
his hand and gather in fortune as
easily as child can gather berries.
But our El-Dorados are nearly ex-
hausted. A new invention, like the
telegraph, very naturally builds up
great individual wealth and corporate
fortunes. But now all civilized lands
have been clothed, as with a garment /
whose warp and woof are telegraph
wires, and the oceans have been belted
with cables. So the era of fabulous
fortunes through the highways of COM
aud transportation is over.
In the days of the California gold
fever the dime was the smallest coin in
use in many parts of the West. There
is now growing up a demand for the
coinage of half-cents. We have reached
the homely half-cent epoch of business
solidity. The financial pulse is getting
down to the healthful beating of fru-
gal and economic style of living and
management; and the change is .
grateful one after the era of panic and
disaster. We no longer look for the
visionary pot Of gold on the end of the

stronger in all sane business minds

The manure from 1 ton of corn and y
tons of straw is worth S14.69 at above
